My favorite part of summer is the delicious inexpensive fruit. Growing up in Washington I became accustomed to having a big box of cherries, peaches and or nectarines around. While you can't buy a 40lbs box of nectarines for $20 from a roadside stand...
While lying in bed recovering from my first week of fairly big training-camp atmosphere/training, I suddenly became rather curious.
In this fast paced world sleep is the first thing to go. Especially in my world. With all the demands on my time, sleep is the first casualty. As a surgical intern in a time before an 80 hour week work restriction. There where some weeks where I...

I am in the last few days of this summer's National Team Camp. After a few more shooting workouts, a long bike ride, intervals and strength these next few days, I will surely be looking forward to a few days of Ramp;R. It has been another successful tr...
Today I turned 25. I had a wonderful day- skate rollerski in the morning, BBQ, a cake sent to me from my best friend Katie in California, wine and spending the day with Dan.
Astrid Jacobsen (NOR) who was involved in a bike accident last week, will avoid back surgery, and should be able to train at full strength in the fall. Her injuries are still considered quite serious, and she required surgery on both her jaw and her elbow. The Norwegian team is committed to the helping get the 2007 Sprint World Champion back to top form. “We are not going to hold back and are prepared to...
Eldar Rønning (NOR) told adressa.no that he would stop racing if he was required to implant a tracking device for anti-doping purposes. Finnish star It is unlikely that anything will come of Kuitunen’s proposal, so Rønning doesn’t have to worry. However, many athletes disagree with the Norwegian’s assessment of the current system. Everyone from star Rafael Nadal to top US swimmers have complained, and apparently the website used for updates is cumbersome and finicky. WADA is currently working...

48 Degrees, rain and wind. Happy July! On Sunday after a 3 hour classic rollerski with Laura Dewitt, Dan and I drove to the Twin Cities for a couple days. It was a short but good trip. I went on a nice road bike ride with my dad and I spent the majority of Tuesday sleeping, [...]
I just got home from my first post op appointment and got to see the pics of what went on inside my knee during the surgery. Pretty cool. There must have been something on the lens because they are a little cloudy but I was able to see the FastFix anchor that they put in. [...]
I just got home from the Twin Cities and had a care package from my friends at Hammer Nutrition waiting for me. Jason sent me a couple of things to help aide in my recovery, which is coming along pretty well and also very slowly. I tore open the box to reveal a couple of [...]
